Summary

This quote suggests that athletes often possess less of a sense of humor compared to the general population. The reasoning behind this could be attributed to their status as heroes and role models for many individuals, which might impose a certain level of seriousness or expectation on them. As public figures admired by many, athletes may feel the need to uphold a certain image, leading to a perceived lack of humor.
